In an attempt to keep the story straight as new names surface as potential candidates to be Nick Saban's newest offensive coordinator at Alabama, we're piecing together this blog post, which will be updated frequently, as a handy source of information about coaches who have been connected with the position.

John McNulty: As soon as the McElwain rumblings really started to heat up, a new candidate emerged out of the blue. Well, actually out of New Jersey. WJOX reported today that the Rutgers offensive coordinator was on campus to interview for the open job at Alabama on Monday. If both reports are true, that would be two candidate interviews in 24 hours. Saban may be in a hurry to fill this vacancy after all.

Still a possibility?:

Chris Hatcher: Georgia Southern's head coach has issued multiple denials that he has been contacted or would be interested in the job. Still, his name circulates in the rumor mill on message boards and talk radio.

Tom Clements: Green Bay's quarterbacks coach emerged as a potential candidate because Saban tried to hire him last year to join the staff. After the Packers were eliminated from the playoffs, Clements name gathered quite a bit of buzz. He issued statements saying he's not sure where the rumors got started. He released a statement saying he did not know where the rumors were coming from. He did not say there was nothing behind the rumors. He's a possibility in my mind until further notice.

Gary Crowton: LSU's offensive coordinator is fresh off a national championship, with a salary most other SEC assistants can only dream about. So why would he be interested in Alabama? Honestly, I have no idea. There are rumblings that Les Miles isn't an easy coach to work for, but working for Saban is no Hawaiian vacation either. It's probably just wishful thinking, but Alabama fans are salivating at the prospect of swiping this hot assistant away from a division rival. It would be a great hire, a home run for the program for sure.

Quiet rumblings

Not as much has been made about these candidates, and credible information is getting hard to come by. Still, if any of these guys should emerge as a contender then remember you heard about them here first.

Mike Schultz: TCU's offensive coordinator has been leading the Horned Frogs' offense since LaDainian Tomlinsin and Dennis Franchione were the big men on campus. Interestingly, Schultz was the running backs coach for his first nine seasons at TCU, and took over as QB coach before the 2007 season to fill a vacancy on the staff.

Bryan Harsin: It seems unlikely that Boise State offensive coordinator would be looking to hop across the country into the SEC, but Gentry Estes mentioned him as a candidate so I will too.

Out of the running

Shawn Watson: Nebraska's offensive coordinator was contacted by Nick Saban, but is pretty clear about his intentions to stay where he is. For some reason, I believe his denials more than those of Hatcher and Clements.

Scot Loeffler: Former QB coach at Michigan became unemployed after Rich Rodriguez took over in Ann Arbor. Has never been a play-caller, but worked with high-level quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Drew Henson, Chad Henne and all the Wolverine signal-callers in between. Loeffler interviewed for the job in Tuscaloosa, so far the only candidate known to have done so. However, he took a job this week as the Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach, ending his involvement in the search.

Jeff Brohm: Louisville's offensive coordinator is another coach Saban targeted early on, but Brohm announced his intentions to stay put even though his brother Brian has used up all his eligibility.
Links: Bio, not interested

Norm Chow: Probably never a serious candidate, Chow is back on the West Coast, accepting a job as UCLA's offensive coordinator. The Tennessee Titans fired Chow after their season ended.
